A story at 20 billion. This Wednesday, the lawyers of US President Donald Trump announced that his client has suffered a “mental anxiety” since the 2023 fall. In question, an assembly transmitted by the CBS news channel of an “60 minutes” interview with his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, where Donald Trump’s reputation would have been destined.
To understand the relationship between the president of the United States and the American channel that attracts almost ten million viewers thanks to its weekly program, it must return to the 2024 presidential campaign. On October 7, the channel broadcasts the same interview with Kamala Harris in two programs of the same day, “60 minutes” and “Face the Nation”.
Trump Problem: The Assembly would show its opponent to give two different answers to Bill Whitaker’s same question, presenter of the show. A fact immediately justified by the chain, as explained by Associated Press. CBS indicated that each answer was in the long response of Kamala Harris, but that it had been modified to be more concise.
According to his lawyers, Trump’s reputation as “content creator (online, editor’s note)” was also undermined for the attention given to the interview.
“Generalized confusion and mental anxiety”
An answer that does not please the occupant of the White House, which, therefore, attacked Paramount Global, CBS Chanding Company, this Thursday in a complaint before the District Court of Yellow, Texas. He claims $ 20 billion in damage.
Despite the chain’s efforts to classify the case without continuing, an agreement would prepare between the two parties. Since then, Bill Owens, a famous show producer, has resigned as a sign of protest.
Edward Andrew Paltzik, one of US President’s lawyers, said that the dissemination of the interview with Kamala Harris has led to a “general confusion and mental anxiety among consumers, including the plaintiffs, with respect to a family name for the traditional means that apparently distort their programs, and then reside in attempts to clean public archives.”
Even so, according to their advice, the transmission of these two extracts would have diverted the attention of Trump’s American voters and their Truth social platform. He added that Trump, described as an “media icon” by his lawyers, was “forced to spend a lot of time, money and efforts to the correction of public archives.”
